14 September 2009

On Sunday 13th September we were not surprised to find twenty-or-so birders and photographers on the 08:00hrs ferry from Aberdeen to Po Toi. As is usual these days, photographers (including us) were the most numerous.

View from the end of the pier. The famous seafood restaurant is to the left, and the casuarinas, where Dollarbirds and Black-naped Orioles can while away their day, are on the right.

We spotted a Grey-streaked flycatcher before we had left the pier, and found that there were two of them giving eye-level views

Bold and confiding - Grey-streaked Flycatcher

"Get off MY perch" - you might imagine they'd save their energy for flying over the ocean....
